My extended family and I stayed in Aptos for a large family event in Santa Cruz. The Vrbo property was exactly as described and perfect for our group of 6. Excellent property

The property is spacious with lots of storage space. It is in a quiet neighborhood. We found that 2 bathrooms was a bit inconvenient for 4 people but not a dealbreaker. It took a little while to figure out the light switches. I would recommend more hooks in the bathroom to hang towels and a mirror in the second bedroom so you can put on makeup when the bathroom is occupied. The kitchen is large, huge dining table, the patio is delightful and there is ample parking.
The microwave was not working but the owner sent over a replacement right away. We would stay here again.

Loved the area and house. Beautiful kitchen and family room and dining room. Master bed was very comfortable! Light switch broken in kitchen area for canned lights. The thermostat was hard to figure out and when we got there is was set at 55 degrees and freezing . The lock box was also open when we arrived. Two days the trunk of the car in the driveway was open so we closed it! The kids loved the playground and had a blast! Thank you for sharing your home!

This house is perfect for a larger family. It has three bedrooms and a huge couch that easy for someone to sleep on. It is the best stocked house that I have ever stayed in. Thr outside area, complete with a play structure for children is excellent. The kitchen is well stocked with everything that we needed for the stay. Video is excellent with large screen TVs and a variety of apps like Netflix.
The back deck is very big with a table that seats eight. Great for outside dining.
The house has plenty of games, including an old Pacman game that we had some fun with. While some of the bedroom furniture is dated, everything is functional and clean. We will stay there again when we go back to the area.

The house was perfect for our 3 generation family.
Plenty of room indoors and out. The kitchen was very well stocked! The washer and dryer were very convenient in the garage. Plenty of off street parking. The mattresses and bedding were very comfortable. We enjoyed dinners outside in the sunshine around the huge table on the back deck. We walked to the beach from the house, sometimes we drove to the bottom of the hill if we were hauling a bunch of beach stuff...the hill was steep coming up.
We could tell we were living in a home that was loved by the owners. I would definitely stay here again.

The house was a great layout for our family of 4 and the outdoor spaces/decks were awesome. This was the cleanest VRBO that I have ever stayed in. They had lots of essentials (TP, paper towels, detergent, etc) that a lot of VRBO owners don’t provide so it was nice not having to go shopping for a bunch of stuff upon arriving. The owner/manager was very responsive to our questions ahead of the stay and always answered in under an hour. The location of the house only about 1/4 mile away from the beach access is phenomenal. Thank you for the amazing stay, we will be back!

This is our third stay, and it never disappoints. Hosts are very easy to communicate with, and responsive. House is very clean, with a very well set up kitchen for cooking, which we used extensively this year. House is stocked with good quality cooking utensils, bedding, towels, TV, and feels like the home I wish I had. Beautiful outside porch that we didn’t use this year, but between the inside and outside, big enough to host family gatherings.
A nice, quiet neighborhood, close to a beach, and a quick drive to Santa Cruz. I would rather have this house than something closer to Santa Cruz, it’s quiet, peaceful, and nicely appointed.
Thank you Heidi and Sunder for continuing to rent out this beautiful home.

We loved this property. The house was perfect. There were plenty of towels, linen and bedding for everyone's comfort. The kitchen was a chef's dream. The hosts were super accommodating from the start. Short drive to toddler friendly Rio Del Mar beach. The back deck and play structure were perfect for family dinner and undwinding from the day. We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for the week. Thanks for the great stay!

The house is beautiful and in a great location. It was central to beach, and to Monterey and Santa Cruz. The hosts were super nice, answered all my questions, and made check-in easy. I hope to stay here again in the future.

After reading the reviews, we were very excited to stay there. The outside of the house was beautiful, the inside was a bit dated. We were expecting a fresh clean smell, but there was a stale odor and the couch could use a good shampooing. There was cleaning products in the house, so we were able to clean so we could be comfortable. The kitchen was the main selling point for choosing the house, my family loves cooking. We had brought our own kitchen items, but you definitely will not need it. Unfortunately, we did have a few issues. The main restroom doorknob did not work and I didn't discover that until trying to open the door and realizing I was locked in the restroom. I had to knock on the door to have someone open it for me. We all tried to remember not to let the door latch, but unfortunately a few of us still ended up locked in the restroom. The patio banister was not very secure, we made it a point not to lean on it. My family did not find the neighbors welcoming. It became pretty obvious that neighborhood was not accustomed to seeing African Americans in that area. That became more obvious after we checked out and I got an email from the owners making some outrageous accusations of my family smoking marijuana in the house. It was very offensive, but pretty funny as I'm a law enforcement officer plus my baby has asthma and has to be given an inhaler pump twice a day so there's absolutely no way I would have allowed any smoking. Between the unwelcoming neighbors and the owners stereotypical remarks, my family would never stay there again. Those are things you can't just repair or replace.

Nice house in a nice neighborhood
The house was a little dated inside but overall it was a very good experience. Its obvious the they put effort into keeping the house clean although the smell of cleaning chemicals was a little strong. The deck in the back is a great place to hangout and relax. It’s a nice short walk down to the beach. In summery, it’s a nice place to stay with family or friends if your staying in the Santa Cruz area, and I would stay in this house again if I was visiting the area again.

Perfect Getaway
The home was beautiful and very comfortable for our group. The kitchen was well equipped. We didn't cook, but it had everything we could have possibly needed. The neighborhood is quiet and in a great location. Santa Cruz was a short drive away and Monterey wasn't far either. We were all pleased with our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home to others.

Better than it appears in listing!
We loved the house, location, proximity to beach, shopping, restaurants, downtown SC, etc. The nearby stretch of beach is gorgeous, the golf course is next door, and the neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The owners were SUPER responsive and hospitable. Can’t say enough good things.

Very nice, relaxing getaway
My family and I stayed at this sweet house over Christmas for a change of scene. It was such a lovely break, a very cozy home that was perfect for our needs. My 8 year old daughter was kept busy exploring the yard Ann bed the play structure, and the rest of the family was happy to relax and enjoy our time together. A lovely stay!

Perfect location to everything
My family, daughter and nieces stayed here which was very near to where my siblings and I stay at the beach. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and so homey. We hope to continue renting this home for years to come.

Aptos beach town
My family enjoyed staying in this house for 8 days. We prepared an early Thanksgiving dinner in the fully equipped kitchen. We found what we needed to cook a turkey. Two aunts joined us for dinner and we located many extra dishes and flatware in the sideboard/ cabinet to accommodate our large group and multiple food courses.
The walk to the beach was a bit confusing at first until we asked some locals. The beach and water are spotless. We had lots of fun. Overall a great vacation. Thank you.

Pleasant stay near the beach in Aptos
Very comfortable house just a short drive from the beach. The ocean is not visible from the house and the closest access is private property but good directions to public access can be gotten online searching California beaches. The house is on a busy street with a double yellow line down the middle and a fair amount of traffic, seems to go about 40 mph. There are not good sidewalks in the immediate block of the house but the curb lane is marked off for parking and can be walked in. My grandchildren enjoyed the swingset.

Lovely getaway
We had a great time visiting with our family that lives in the area and really enjoyed the house. The house is beautiful and very well stocked. We had everything we needed in the gourmet kitchen to cook our meals each night. There was plenty of seating and a lot of wonderful outdoor space to use. The bedrooms were comfortable and had plenty of extra linens and pillows if needed. The location was perfect and easy to get to several beaches. We did have one little issue when we arrived and the owner was able to send someone out immediately to see to it. Sunder was very kind and responsive. Overall we really enjoyed the stay and will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

This is a wonderful property especially for a beach visit. The living room, kitchen and dining open area is a nice space for the family! See my review from May.

Fantasic property
The property was awesome. The kitchen especially was fully stocked with everything you would need. The beds were very comfortable. The outdoor decks were perfect for evening meals. Property is close to beaches which is what we were looking for. There are only 2 things we would add/change, a colander for the kitchen and the master bedroom shower head was way too low. Small issues but we would definitely rent again! You won't go wrong with this rental! Thanks Dianne!!!!

Beautiful home, quiet neighborhood
This house was so pretty and clean. It was perfect for the five of us. Our granddaughter loved the play structure in the backyard. The beds were comfy. It was located in a very nice quiet neighborhood and wasn’t too far away from all the activities we had planned.

Beautiful home and very nice vacation spot
It’s a beautiful home with many fine features, we really enjoyed our stay. The kids room pictured with toys and stuff was not in the house, which was fine for us. It has a wonderful playground and the garden is beautiful both front and back. The cool temperatures were wonderful and enjoyed the beautiful views and morning fog on the patio. There’s a beach near the house we attempted to go to but it had a gate so we weren’t sure how that worked and just drove on to another beach. If I was going to stay there again I would ask about accessing the nearest beach, Beer Can beach because there are no private beaches in California. When I messaged the owners they were friendly and responsive but to be clear we did not ask about how to access the nearest beach. It’s an hour drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium which we all really enjoyed.
If I was forced to point out some kid of negative I would say you can hear every noise inside the house. We could hear our kids easily in their rooms move around and a possible sneeze stuff like that. It was also well stocked as promised. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to another family or friend.
